Sorry for the long wait, I really did not have time to write because of finals and moving from my dorm. But I am done for the summer and hopefully I can be back on a roll with updates. I decided to update this story first and then Horizon is the next in line. Sorry if I took so long, but I was super busy. I did get to read some stories on here, but I just had little time to update my own. So here is the next chapter…
I do not own Twilight or the characters!
Leah's POV
Seth and Embry helped me home the next day. Staying at the Cullen's over night was not that bad, although I cried all night. It was hard to wrap my mind around the break up with Jacob, even though I initiated it.
"So you two are done," Embry asked turning to look at me in the backseat. I held my small baby bump, causing that tiny flutter I had been feeling a lot.
" Yea," I said blinking away a tiny tear that seemed to keep forming at the corner of my eye.
" I hope you weren't too tough on him," Embry replied.
" Fuck Black. He hurt her, so why should she care about his feelings," Seth stated angrily. I sighed and laid my head against the cool window. I didn't like that the pack was all against Jacob now, even though he was definitely in the wrong. It was weird how I was so pissed at him, yet I felt bad for him. This pregnancy was taking a toll on my emotions, I didn't like it. My emotions changed too much during the day, at the most inconvenient moments.
" Can we talk about something else now," I asked rolling my eyes. I wasn't really into bashing Jacob right now, not when I needed to not stress myself out.
" Yea," Seth replied smiling at me. I looked away from him, still not really forgiving him either. I closed my eyes, letting myself slip into a light sleep.
" I'll see you later tonight," I heard Embry whisper to Seth. I felt my body being placed on my bed.
" Okay," Seth whispered. I opened my eyes as Seth walked away from the bed.
" Where are you going later," I asked propping myself up on my elbow.
" Oh sorry if I woke you up. I have to patrol later, Adahy is still on the loose," Seth replied walking back to my bed.
" Oh. Be careful," I said laying back down.
" Don't worry I will. And I will try not to kill Jacob while I'm at it," Seth smiled.
" Can we not talk about him Seth? I don't need to stress myself out right now," I stated. Seth nodded and kissed my forehead.
" Get some rest Lee." He said quietly closing my door.
I only got to sleep for about an hour before my cell phone blared from my pocket. I groaned and answered it without looking at the caller id.
" Yes," I said rudely.
" Lee," a voice cracked on the other end.
" Who is this," I asked, my voice raspy with sleep.
" It's Emily. Can I come over to talk to you," she asked.
" No, I'm resting. Didn't Sam tell you what happened? Oh I forgot, it's all about you right," I said sarcastically. Emily sniffed and I heard her sob lightly. This girl was definitely becoming a charity case. " What's wrong with you anyway Emily?"
" I really need someone to talk to."
" Talk to Sam, he is you husband. You should be able to talk to him about anything and everything. That's what marriage is, well at least I think it is," I stated fluffing my flat pillow.
" Can I come over there, please? I can't talk to Sam about this, plus he is not here. Him and Jacob are having a meeting about that other pack," Emily said sniffing again. Has she ever heard of a fucking tissue?
Why the hell was I giving in to Emily. I rolled my eyes and said, " Fine. But don't be long I need some sleep."
" Okay I am right outside your house now actually," Emily said. How did she know I was going to let her in? People these days had some nerve, ugh! I threw my covers off and stomped out of my room and down the steps. I opened the front door, Emily was standing there with her arms crossed over her chest. Her face was tear streaked and her eyes were puffy.
" Come in," I said moving to the side to let her in. We went up to my room and sat on the edge of the bed. " What's going on?" I asked her nonchalantly.
" Um… Sam is going to be really mad at me. I did something terrible, something he won't ever forgive me for." Emily wiped fresh tears from her eyes.
I sat up straight, preparing myself for what Emily was going to tell me. It had to be bad if she said Sam would be mad at her for it. Sam rarely got mad at Emily, and when he did he forgave her quickly. I looked at her, letting her know I was listening.
" I got an abortion." My eyes widened and my mouth fell agape. I don't think I hear her correctly.
" Wait, you did what?"
" I know it was wrong, I shouldn't have done it. I just couldn't have the baby Lee, I couldn't do it," Emily sobbed.
" Why would you kill an innocent child Emily? Do you know what this will do to Sam," I couldn't figure out why I actually cared about what this decision would do to Sam. But I just could not wrap my mind around the fact that Emily could be so selfish. Sam always wanted children, it was all he ever talked about when we were…together.
" I know, I'm so sorry. I just couldn't have his baby, knowing what I have done."
" What are you talking about Emily," I asked angered. I took a deep breath, anger would only aggravate the twins.
" I have history with Adahy. Before I met Sam, I dated Adahy while on the Makah reservation." Emily sniffed. " It was before he became a wolf, I had no idea about the wolf stories. I didn't know it was Adahy until the other day when he tried to attack me. Well, he didn't really try to attack at first. He wants me back Lee, he said he can make me happier that Sam has. He just got angry with me, and hit me. I have been meeting up with him at the Makah reservation for a month now."
" What the fuck Emily! So you are telling me you have been screwing the Alpha of the Cherokee pack-"
" No! That's not what I'm saying. I am just trying to make sure that Sam is who I want. Leah you don't understand how I feel. I feel like I am with Sam because I have to be. I want to know if he is the one for me, or if I am just with him because I am his imprint. I never really got the chance to venture out to other men. Adahy and Sam are the only men I have really loved," Emily wiped her face with her shirt.
" Why is it that I never met Adahy before? You didn't even tell me about him. You had to know something was bad about him if you kept it a secret all this time," I was getting frustrated with Emily. She put on this act, an act that was putting us all in danger.
" So I'm assuming you know where the bastard is. You have known this whole time and didn't say anything huh? Do you realize how dangerous this is? How stupid could you be Emily? What the fuck," I yelled standing up. I held my stomach as if I was comforting my babies. I knew they did not like all this yelling I had been doing lately.
" I'm so sorry Lee. Please just listen-"
" I'm done listening Em. I am stressed to the hilt and you come in here and lay this news on me. Do I just look like a trash receptacle, everyone just wants to throw all their problems on me? Just leave Emily."
" Lee-"
" Get out! Leave. Go dump your problems on someone else. I can't believe you would do this shit," I walked over to my window, running my hands through my tangled hair. I was in dire need of a hair cut. My hair was growing to fast and when I phased my fur was all mangled looking.
" I'm sorry for everything. I just needed to do something for me for once," Emily said still sitting on my bed. Didn't I tell her to leave?
" Can I ask you something Emily?" Emily nodded.
" When have you ever done anything for anyone else? I mean to me it's always been about you. It was about you when we were little. You always had to have the pink Starburst and I had to have the nasty red ones. It was about you when I had birthday parties. You always had to help me blow out my candles. I wanted a wish of my own sometimes Emily. When Sam imprinted on you, you made the choice to stay with him. It was all about your happiness. You could have walked away from it Emily. You could have told Sam to go screw himself and just leave you the hell alone. But no, you had to stick with him because you had to be happy. Well guess what Emily, fuck you," I said turning around to look at her face. She shook her head slowly and a tear trickled down her cheek.
" So when you went to the Makah reservation the other day, who did you go see?" I asked her.
She bit her lip and looked at the floor. " I went to see my mother and…Adahy."
" Jesus Emily! You have really fucked some stuff up. Now I have to tell-"
" No you don't have to tell anything. Please just keep this to yourself, I will tell Sam," Emily rushed over to me and grabbed my hands. I snatched them away from her and took a step back.
" I am not about to keep a secret that is putting us all in danger. Adahy can not be trusted, do you know what he did to Nessie? His pack is killing humans for Christ's sake. I am telling the pack, screw what you are saying," I replied.
" No Lee-"
" Now like I asked like ten minutes a go. Get out," I pointed towards my door. Emily held her face in her hands and began to plea again.
" Out, Young or Uley. What ever the hell your name is. I'm sure you will changing your name soon anyway. Sam is going to want to divorce your ass after this," I said smirking. Emily nodded her head and dried up her last bit of tears. She turned at the door to face me one last time.
" Like I said millions of times, sorry for everything," Emily stated before walking out. I shook my head in disbelief. This was not the Emily I thought I had known most of my life.
" Lee, what was that about? Emily left out of here like something was wrong," My mother asked from the doorway.
" Just some crap she has gotten herself in to. Some deep crap," I sighed and sat on the edge of my bed.
" Is it something I can help with?" My mother was always trying to help with matters she could not really control.
" Well since you are on the committee I guess you should know. Emily has a past with Adahy and she has been seeing him behind everyone's back."
" What? Have you told the pack yet," my mother asked patting my hair.
" No, I don't even know who to talk to about it. I can't really talk to Jake about it, we aren't really on speaking terms."
" Oh Seth told me about what happened. I'm sorry, everything will work out I'm sure."
" I wish I could say the same, I kind of broke up with him. He didn't even seem really phased by it, he walked out," I replied.
" Well maybe he didn't know how to take it. What did you expect him to say Leah?"
" I thought he would fight for me," I said pulling at a string on my comforter.
" Maybe he is and you just don't see that baby. Call one of your pack brothers or wait until they come back from patrol. This is an important matter that should be discussed with them. I will call Old Quil to forewarn him," my mother said kissing my forehead.
" Thanks mom."
" That's what mother's are for," she winked and left me alone in my room. I should get used to being alone, it was something I was going to have to get used to. I had pushed Jacob away and I doubt he will come back. I had already put him through so much, he stuck around longer than I thought. I buried my face in my pillow. Who knew that Leah Clearwater would actually regret something? Why was I even regretting breaking up with Jacob? Things happen for a reason right?
Sorry this was so short. This was just kind of a peek into some drama that is about to occur. What the hell is wrong with Emily, she must have lost her mind. Will Leah tell Sam about the abortion? Will Leah tell the pack about what Emily has done? Is Adahy around La Push? Will Leah and Jacob get back on speaking terms? So many questions and so much more to write. This story still has a way to go and I am thinking about a sequel. I am still thinking of what will go on in it and how to piece it together. I don't want it to suck donkey butt. Lol. Reviews are lovely and greatly appreciated. Off to write a chapter to Horizon and Reasons! Thanks for everything and your patience.
